Claims: What I claim is:

1. An ornamental device to be fastened to clothing and the like to hold glasses and other objects, said device comprising:

a main body having an ornamental front surface;

fastening means attached to the back surface of the main body for fastening the device to clothing and the like;

holding means attached to the back surface of and hidden from frontal view by the ornamental front surface of said main body, said holding means extendable from the bottom edge of said main body for holding objects hung thereover, said holding means comprised of:

two, parallel, vertical, tubular members spaced from each other and attached directly to the back of said main body, and

a moveable U-shaped member frictionally fitted at each vertical section thereof into one of said vertical tubular members, with the horizontal member of the U-shape extending between the vertical sections beneath the vertical tubular members,

whereby extending the U-shaped member beyond the edge of the main body while being frictionally held by the vertical tubular members provides a horizontal support at the bottom horizontal part of the U-shape for holding an object and whereby forcing the U-shaped member upward behind the ornamental front surface completely hides the U-shaped member from frontal view.
